The range has been released to meet a 'spike' in interest in the fictional steeds - Asda says it recorded 79,000 searches online for unicorn-related items by shoppers last month, and a further 12,700 searches over the first week of January this year.

The new range, which is now available online and in stores across the UK, is part of the retailer's key trends for 2018 and is officially called ‘Cosmic Retro’.

Asda's rainbow range

Prices range from £2.50 for a gold ornament to £170 for a unicorn pushchair.

Speaking about the new collection, George Homeware Designer and Interiors Guru, Natalie Ratcliffe said: “ This is the third unicorn range for George and we fully expect this one to be as successful, if not more so, than the previous.

“The difference in this range is that we’ve responded to the overwhelming demand for a more ‘grown-up’ selection of products, and given the customers exactly what they want – the unicorn has officially graduated, in terms of style, for 2018.

“We knew nostalgia would be a key player this year as part of Cosmic Retro but the unicorn as a standalone micro trend is still going from strength to strength, so for all those unicorn fans out there, you’ve got a lot to look forward to.”

What is the Cosmic Retro trend?

If you love anything whimsical, retro or a bit space age then this is the collection for you.

George have pulled together a range of home and lifestyle items that work within this overall trend - think disco balls, iridescent metals, astrology and sequins, this is all about '90s nostalgia.

The colour scheme is a palette of black, purples and metallics - think lots and lots of silver.
